[Q] streaming audio - Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

whenever im streaming audio on my phone, it works fine. but as soon as my screen shuts off it quits playing. any way to get around this so i dont have to have my screen on all the time? do i need a new player or something. i like to listen to talk radio podcasts while im working. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks..

Are you possibly running any type of task killer app? If you are make sure the app that is streaming the audio is in your ignore list.

no. Im not using any task killers, so that cant be it.

The same thing happens to me when tethering with "Wireless Tether" (No app killers installed).

any way to change the default player to something else other than the htc player? looking.. but cant find how to do it.

Bluetooth Problem? Help please =)

hi guys so im running. fresh 1.0.1 with netarchy kernel.
i have a motorola S9-HD bluetooth stereo head set. out of the blue i been having a problem where the head set wont control the music. IE i cant play next restart or pause. weird thing is that it will control music programs like last fm or pandora. i thought for some random reason the programs were interfering with the music player so i uninstalled them and im still getting the same problems. anyone know what i can do to fix it? super annoying to go to my phone to change songs.
*note i did reset after all uninstalls and testing to see if that would help.
thanks guys.

[Q] Stopping bluetooth music auto play

So there I am, getting in my car in the morning, ready to drive to work, I turn it on, get ready to pull out
OH MY GOODNESS SOME TECHNO I HAD ON THE NIGHT BEFORE IS AUTO BLASTING OVER BLUETOOTH
Yeah, that's the "feature" of having bluetooth media autoplay. Besides turning off all bluetooth media features is there a way to prevent Winamp or whatever other stock media player is on the phone from blasting away as soon as it connects?
(Rooted, Cyanogen 7)
Did you try clearing defaults for the applications in the applications menu?

No defaults set for Winamp or any other music application that I can find.
It's just when the Bluetooth connects it starts to play. Mine does it with Cyanogen, wife's phone does it with the stock Sprint Sense rom.
So I guess this is just one of those feature/bugs of Android that has no fix?
My dual BT headset turns on the stock HTC player whilst playing threw Winamp. It does this when I press play after a paused interruption. I'm using misfits speedy Rom and it happens to me. I can't set a default player either. Well i tried.

Has anyone solved this problem. It is rather annoying. I don't want to have to remove all the mp3's from my phone just to stop it from doing this.
I like to use Pandora for my radio, but everytime I turn on my car I have to take the time to tell the music player to knock it off...

[Q] AVRCP priority

Not sure the best place to ask this...when you've got your epic connected to a AVRCP-capable device (like a bluetooth headset with a play/pause button), the play button is capable of having the epic launch an app in order to play something is nothing is open.
My question is, what, in the Epic's software, determines the priority of which app gets launched, out of all the various playback apps you might have?
Some background: I mostly use my BT headphones for podcast listening on the go. I set up Tasker to launch Google Listen on phone startup (and then immediately go back to desktop) so that the app is in recent apps list. Then, if I put the play button on my headphones, Listen will launch and my podcast will start playing. If I want to switch over to pandora, I manually close Listen (using the back button) and launch pandora. Now my headphones control the play/pause on Pandora without trying to launch listen instead, which is what they might do if I had both apps open.
The problem comes in that I installed the Google Music beta app (this is different from the Music app that comes with the Epic, for clarity) so that I could access my music from the cloud. This app seems to take priority over all others. If I launch it, even once, it will always bypass Listen from then on, even if I manually close, it, kill the service, and dump the phone's ram. The only way I can switch the phone back to Listen app mode is to manually freeze Music with Titanium backup.
This is really annoying.
So, yeah, my question is, what on the phone makes it determine that launching the Music app is preferable to resuming the Listen app?
I find this extremely annoying too (because I have to pull over to fix it) so I only have miui player installed, not quite the answer but this sounds interesting would like t know as well

[Q] Please Help me guys!!

Hi!, I had a serious nerve racking problem with Samsung Galaxy W since I flashed it with another official stock ROM in which I got much more languages including the french one. But the problem is that when the earphone is plugged in to listen to my music, it starts switching the soundtrack I am playing to another one that I wasn't playing, it even stops playing :'( . And it's the same **** everytime I want to play my music from the default music player or the one installed like Poweramp. So please help me to fix this!. Even when I wanna listen to my FM radio it shuts down by itself and I could hear some weird beeps from my earphone. The Autostarts apps won't solve at all my problem! :'(

I am not sure about the default music player, but poweramp has a feature like the one you described. When you plug in the headphone, it resumes playing. (An autostart musicplayer feature). Check the settings under poweramp player and hopefully you will see that option somewhere. I am not using poweramp so I can't tell you where exactly that option would be.
The other issues you desribe, I don't know. It may have something to do with the conflict between poweramp and FM radio... Maybe. I am not sure. See what happens when you disable the option I described above.
The stock rom don't have a FM radio app, so use Spirit FM, search the apk and download it.
And this problem happens with me too, but only sometimes. When I'm using a Bluetooth headset, no problems, but when I use a normal earphone, some lags occur.

Okay thanks for your help but now the problem is solved after disabling the "media button pressed" event's from the pre installed music player and many other apps running on your Android's system. It requires root access to be allowed "Autostarts.apk". Anybody else having the issue could use this app to fix it!

prevent app from automatically closing by task manager in kitkat

I listen to music via Bluetooth streaming in my car using the factory MUSIC app. I'd like to be able to get into the car, turn on the BT streaming mode on my car audio and automatically begin playing music. However, the factory task manager automatically closes the MUSIC app after I get out of the car and I have to load it manually each time.
Being that everyone recommends that with KitKat one shouldn't install a task killer/manager other than what's from the factory....how can this be done?
Is there any way to put the music on an exclusion list?
Thanks in advance.
If understand correctly, you want the music to continue playing on your phone's speaker when disconnected from your car audio?

negative, the music will pause automatically when the music app detects a break in bluetooth connection when I turn off the car. What I need is for the MUSIC app itself to continue running in the background (it's not a big resource or battery hog) for when I get into my car for a seamless transition back to playing music.... because once the phone shuts down the app I need to load it again...a PITA.
Thanks.

It will continue running in the background, this isn't really a task killer problem but more of an app thing.. For example, I use play music and it resumes playing once I connect to Bluetooth again even if I kill it myself.. I would check the settings if you haven't already and see if there's is a setting for it, I've seen other apps with settings like that, but don't know about the stock music app
it is not in fact running in the background. No such option in setting either. Anyone know of any app that could make it be ignored by the default task manager?
You can do it with xposed if interested
The head unit in your car may have something to do with it.
Factory? Aftermarket?
I have a Kenwood w/7in touch screen and if my BT on phone is enabled as soon as the Kenwood starts up whatever app was running before will start playing automatically, Samsung music app, Amazon music app..
If Milk music or Pandora I have to launch app.
Pp.
there are a few apps on the market with that name.... also do I need root access? As far as the head unit it's a factory stereo Infiniti q50

It's not on the market and you need root access.. If you are interested do a quick search for xposed on Google and go to the one here on XDA, read about it on the thread and how to use it, install it, open it, and search for a module called app settings, in there you have an option to always keep in memory for whatever app you want so just select stock player. Keeping the music player running may not even be the solution, but it is a possibility.. As the previous poster stated, there are apps that just lack autoplay feature.. It is also possible that some other music app or app that uses Bluetooth may conflict with it, preventing it from auto playing
